Grains

Rice, oats, quinoa, couscous and similar grains hydrate based on precise ratios. Volume is skewed by kernel size and air gaps. Weighing both dry and cooked grains keeps texture predictable.

Why weigh dry grains? Cup measures change with grain size and packing. Weight guarantees the right water ratio for fluffy, non-gummy results.

Storage & tools

  • Refrigerate perishable foods within 2 hours (1 hour if above 90°F/32°C).
  • Keep the refrigerator at or below 40°F (4°C) and the freezer at 0°F (-18°C).
  • Cool hot foods in shallow containers so they chill faster and more safely.
  • Use an appliance thermometer to verify fridge and freezer temperatures.

Keep sealed; reheat with a splash of water or butter. Freeze to store longer.
